NGT allows vintage car rally in Delhi

NEW DELHI: In a breather to vintage car aficionados, the National Green Tribunal on Friday allowed a motor vehicle club to organise a car rally in the national capital.

A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar granted permission to Heritage Motoring Club of India which had sought its nod to organise 50th Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally from Modern School, Barakhamba Road to Greater Noida on February 26-28.

The tribunal, however, clarified that its order would be subject to final orders of the bench on the plea.

Relaxing the ban for a day, it had said, "We make it clear that none of the vintage cars would be otherwise permitted on the roads of NCR, Delhi nor any authority would issue fitness certificate to them without specific order of the tribunal."
